About: The Premier Lacrosse League (PLL) is a professional lacrosse league in North America, composed of 8 teams rostered with the best players in the world. Co-founded by lacrosse superstar Paul Rabil and his brother, serial entrepreneur and investor, Mike Rabil, the Premier Lacrosse League is backed by an investment group composed of Joe Tsai Sports, The Raine Group, Creative Artists Agency (CAA), and other top investors in sports and media. The PLL is distributed through an exclusive media rights agreement with ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN+. For more information, visit www.premierlacrosseleague.com and follow on social media: Instagram (@PLL), Twitter (@PremierLacrosse), Facebook (@PremierLacrosseLeague) and YouTube (YouTube.com/PLL).

The PLL is seeking a full-time paid Strategy Intern to support some of the League’s most important strategic and operational priorities. This is an opportunity to get an unusually broad view into how a growing professional sports league is built - from evaluating where the League and its teams should grow, to analyzing new revenue and partnership opportunities, to supporting decisions related to the youth business and other business verticals.

The selected candidate will work closely with PLL leadership on projects that have a direct impact on the trajectory of the League. Depending on current business priorities, work could include researching and evaluating potential team markets, developing market and financial analyses, helping shape the PLL’s youth growth strategy and efforts to expand participation in lacrosse, assessing broader growth and monetization opportunities, supporting city and venue-related initiatives, preparing materials for the Board of Directors, conducting competitive and industry research, and helping move strategic initiatives from idea to execution.

This is not a traditional internship experience. The PLL is a lean, entrepreneurial organization, and the person in this role will be expected to operate as a full-time member of the team. That means owning meaningful work, presenting recommendations, working across functions, and being equally willing to build the analysis behind a major strategic decision or jump into the details required to get an initiative over the finish line.

We are looking for an exceptionally driven early-career professional who is serious about building a career in sports and sees this role as an opportunity to prove what they can do. The ideal candidate is intellectually curious, analytical, resourceful, low-ego, and willing to do whatever the work requires.

For an exceptional performer, this internship may lead to consideration for a full-time opportunity with the PLL following the internship period, subject to individual performance, business needs, available roles, and mutual interest.

Compensation: 

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, gender identity, marital or veteran status, or any other protected class.
